Hot summer temperatures, four stages for music, a slam stage, and around 17,000 visitors: perfect conditions at the Campus Festival 2017 for a gigantic party. The crowd cheered up-and-coming musicians
like the German hip-hop group Antilopen Gang and singer-songwriter Joris. But the highlight of the evening was the main act, German rap artist Casper.

Those who prefer something quieter find a spot on the social field. During the Poetry Slam, there is also time and less bustle to get a bite to eat and something to drink from
one of the 50 catering booths. It is also necessary to tank energy for the big names on the main stage ...

Visitors start by letting it rip to the Antilopen Gang - jumping, singing and rapping along to their songs including "Pizza".

Even brief showers don't stop visitors going hyper again afterwards. Two local heroes are still to come.

They sing, clap, jump - louder, faster and higher than they have done all day when he rocks the stage.
